6) i wanted to cook it all as one big ring but my oven wasnt big enough, so then i had the joy of cutting it into 3rds and baking them seperately (for about 30min at 180 degrees) and trying to make one big ring out of the 3 bits

7) it didnt help that i dropped one of the bits so it wouldnt fit properly

8)anyway....make a heck of a lot of icing and make it quite thick because if not it just runs of the side which is no fun (make sure its cooled first)

9) get a second coloured icing and make stripes :D

then feather the stripes by dragging a knife down them in the oppisite direction

then eat with a cuppa *nom**nom
